We are not talking here about priests with a homosexual orientation who are struggling to live the virtue of chastity. We are talking about active homosexuals who have broken their vows.

The author of this piece knows that there are many homosexually-oriented men in the priesthood who are celibate. There just are. And one might guess who they are, but, because they are celibate, one will never know.

That's why a blanket policy against admitting homosexuals to the priesthood will never work. First, if they're celibate, you'll never know.

And, if they're celibate, why not admit them?

Or, why not just have heterosexual men for priests and let their wives sing in the choir and help with the management of the church? It's a two-for-one deal.
